rob_s, your message clearly illustrates my point. It was quite passive-aggressive and felt like you were attacking me for my opinions (I never said you were Christian by the way, I was pointing out some weird status quo that you were trying to maintain instead of being open minded) and that's an example of the weak point of this site. The main site feels that way too, very cold and impersonal. So I was just trying to give feedback, not trying to get attacked or anything.

The amount of innocent words on that list just because of possible slang is really odd. For example, facial hair is censored?

maybe best to just censor some major swear words and stop with this odd endless censorship list thing

Also, why are the innocent words poop and crap censored?

Although I agree font use is tricky, even these pages explain that using a outline vector of a typeface and not the font file itself, would be OK even in restricted non-free font cases.

This site says it more simply:

A font is not generally copyrightable. However the computer code that generates the font on a computer may be copyrightable. If we assume that it is analogous to a blueprint for a picnic bench -- you can't "copy" the graphic blueprint (download the code for the font) but you can use the information to make an uncopyrightable useful item, the bench (the image of a letter generated by the code) without infringing -- then there is an argument that calligraphy from tracing could be OK. This assumes there is no "art" in the font, like animal figures, or medieval manuscripts.

Hello ifishy1967! Something that I didn't understand at first is you have to type the tag you want and press enter to add it to the tags list. So type for example cat and press enter and then type the next tag.

While we are at it, would "weed" be ok too? Weeds are just a type of unwanted plant in a garden. Not sure why it is on the list either. I know it is also slang, but it also is a common term for a type of plant and the chemicals that kill it (weed killer) etc.

OK. So can I add "edit image" button from each clipart page view? having to scroll through thousands of my clipart images to try to find one in my history to add tags to or something is a major headache. (On Openclipart us librarians could also edit titles/descriptions/tags on other images from the clipart view page, that also made editing wrong titles/tags etc very easy)

rob_s, chill man, it was me. I thought that was what vedran wanted us to do. I was only deleting copyrighted images like Pepe and the Simpsons. I thought that was my role here, aren't we suppose to clean things up and make it smooth? You seem to not want us around here, and I am a little confused by the attitude honestly. Was just trying to be helpful.

I seem to remember it looked a bit like this guy:

rob_s, when the OCAL images are adopted you get 500 errors because they go to the adopted user, maybe thats what you are seeing? There should be a way to delete an account though, is there? But yeah good question, once public domain always public domain, so what happens to clipart from deleted accounts?

rob_s, well thought out, and well argued. I can see that our core values are different on a central point. From what you said about this not being a museum or not our job to teach sex education etc, I see that you still think that non pornographic nudity is somehow sexual, I'm arguing that it isn't and that it doesn't harm children so it doesn't matter if this isn't those other places or the parents haven't taught the children about sex yet. Because I see non pornographic nudity as harmless. I guess we can't agree on that though.

Incidentally, if you are interested Openclipart did have a policy on nudity and it did kind of change a bit over the years. Some of the ones that have been reported here were reported there too, but many of the innocent ones were not. The official policy was graphic nudity had to be marked NSFW (they had a toggle switch) but incidental cartoon non-sexual nudity was typically not marked as such. (Also of note, they also worried about wanting school clicks so there was debate on there about weather we should even have sexual NSFW clipart at all.)

rob_s, you did not address what I said at all. I agree porn has no place on a clipart site, as I said in my original comment. So Ménage à trois clipart is not needed. But I was addressing you honestly offense statement that I am not part of a civilized society if my society hunts whales. Same with the poop christmas image and other things. How can you decide what is "civilized" in a big world. And are you saying (I couldn't log in to the forum for awhile) the developers said "ZERO" nudity, even artistic? If so, that's strange. So does that mean female nudity only? Can I not show men at the beach topless? I don't know, I think there needs to be more clarity in regards to that. But also in regards to your "we should only do what civilized people" do thing, which left me confused.
